Is this London’s first move to split from Britain and become a nation state?

A PLAN to introduce London only visas designed to restrict migrants to the area within the M25 could be the first move which sees the cash-rich capital SPLIT from the rest of the UK.
Business leaders in the city – which is acknowledged as running on different economic lines to the rest of the country – are demanding their own visas which would allow immigrants movement in London only.

The move is a bid to avoid any Brexit skills shortage in the moneybags capital.


Speaking of London proposals to issue its own work visas to EU citizens, UKIP MEP, Mike Hookem said: “This divisive measure goes beyond the authority of the London assembly and smacks of yet another Labour attempt to derail the Brexit process.”

“No-one in the leave campaign called for a blanket ban on the issuing of employment visas, and in fact welcomed the prospect bringing skills to Britain from across the world.”

“What must not be allowed to happen is that London essentially declares itself independent from the rest of the UK.”
